Taiwanese Restaurants near Honolulu, HI

“Best place on island to enjoy spicy items if you’re looking for spicy food.
Of course the food here is great, you can ask for no spice.
We enjoy all the dishes, Get: beef noodle soup, pork sauce noodles, spicy eggplant and the best popcorn chicken number 5! ( only try number 5 if you love the heat )
Shout out to Brian, his parents and the entire crew.“

“Place was clean and the staff friendly and attentive. Fresh made noodles, lots of choices. Portion size could be a bit bigger but I was satisfied. The tofu was really good, crunchy on the outside and creamy in the middle. This place is off the beaten path and you have to make an effort to find it. Pricing is very reasonable considering the place is in downtown Waikiki.“

“best Mexican food on island, friendly service, HUGE portions - well worth it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Aloha all; this spot is a must when on Oahu! I am very impressed with the flavors and how much better they are than so many other Chinese style places. But I also love great soup dumplings and I think they have the best in Hawaii. You must try it. When you’re in the area stop by and just get soup dumplings and leave…. So yummy“

“I was craving some souffle pancakes and did a google search and found this little café. I love coconut and they have Coconut Creme Bruleé souffle pancakes on their menu and I knew I wanted to have them. I thought they were great, not too sweet which was perfect. It is a tiny little café, the young ladies tending were sweet and kind. I would definitely recommend if you want to have something light for brunch. They also have teas, smoothies and some cakes“

“Great tea and popcorn chicken“

“So, I am a total townie. To me, going past Chinatown is going to the boonies. Going to Aiea and taking the freeway is like going to another country where you don't know how to drive. Well, I took the adventure and it was totally worth it to check out this place. Had tried before, but unfortunately, they were still closed due to COVID restrictions. After thinking about trying to go again, I found the time and couldn't believe what I was missing out on all this time. The food is just amazing. I've had Taiwanese soups of many kinds over the years, but their Cow Wow beef noodle soup was by far the best I have ever had. Lots of excellent meat, rich broth and spiced perfectly. My partner had the Fooki Belly plate and I was amazing with the pork that was so perfectly cooked and so flavorful with fatty yumminess. We also got the Grandpa Rolling Beef, which was like an Asian crepe burrito. It was fantastic as well, but didn't really need so much plum sauce on it and would ask for it on the side when we go back again. The place has a certain Asian kitschy sheik to it, like something with a Shanghai old movie feel. They are super cautions with COVID safety and maybe can ease up just a bit, but I do appreciate their efforts to keep themselves as well as their dinners safe. If this place were to open up another location in the Honolulu area, I would probably be there way to much. Maybe it is a good thing that they are out of my normal travel comfort limits, so that it makes it extra special when I go back again for their amazing food.“
